Soft PC without tears
15 Jan 2000
A new version of WizPLC, PC Soft's PLC replacement program for PCs, is significantly faster and more versatile than its predecessor, the company claims. WizPLC version 2.0 is easier and quicker to program, it says.
WizPLC uses a new logic engine which executes compiled code 20 times faster than the previous version, making millisecond responses possible even on a standard Windows NT system. It is aimed at discrete control applications for machinery, transport, building automation, refrigeration and manufacturing.
Among other new features is a retained data handling function, which allows a list of variables to be saved to disk at regular intervals. If the program stops for any reason, it will restart with the last saved variables.
